G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / RE G31 PROBE COMMAND

« on: June 29, 2006, 07:59:21 PM »

Hi please can anyone help with G31, when reading Mach 3 user's guide it states that you must use " at least 1 axis word " ( page 10-20 ) & " after successful probing parameters 2000 to 2005 will record trip point " page 10-21.

say try this line   code " G31 X50 Y50 "   no movement  I assumed it would move towards X50 Y50 stop when probe trips, is this possible as i need to probe at angle

                       code " G31 X50 " ok

         Many Thanks Paul Strotten
